→Worldhoppers: Reference placement
(There was no reason whatsoever to remove the MSH and TLM refs to interplanetary trade. Or the book references to ships through the physical realm, because I feel that if the book mentions something also mentioned in a WoB, both should be put. So I added those back. WoBs alone are far less reliable sources of information than the books.) |

As a result of these difficulties, people look for other methods of travel.{{book ref|mb7|39}}{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|4}} While it may be possible to worldhop using the Spiritual Realm,{{wob ref|9307}}{{wob ref|13110}} the primary other method available is faster-than-light travel through space in the Physical Realm.{{book ref|sotd}}{{book ref|tress|60}}{{wob ref|15030}}{{wob ref|3295}} There are multiple ways to create ships that are capable of such travel;{{wob ref|15788}}{{wob ref|3453}} the Surge of Transportation and [[Allomancy]] both provide viable bases for developing ships that can do so,{{wob ref|15788}}{{wob ref|12307}} though the exact mechanics are unknown.
In total, the number of people traveling between planets probably numbers somewhere in the thousands,{{wob ref|9501}} though this may increase after the development of faster-than-light travel through the Physical Realm.{{book ref|sotd}} Some of these people are involved in the broader events of the cosmere, but many just want to immigrate to another planet.{{wob ref|12724}} There is no universal language that all worldhoppers speak,{{wob ref|1136}} though some can use [[Connection]] to speak local languages.{{wob ref|1021}} These worldhoppers drive a thriving interplanetary trade system{{msh ref|3|2}}{{book ref|mb7|39}} that includes the trade of mundane objects from different worlds,{{book ref|sa4|29}}{{book ref|sa4|75
